Read MoreI just got to put myself out there more. You know, there aren't any good jobs out there. I think I'll just wait till next month. These are all lies that keep you stuck in your career. But the good news is I'm here to help you get out of the circle of lies and actually learn how to advance your career in a meaningful way.
Read MoreGrowing up, I didn't know anybody who liked their job. People constantly complained about how they hated their job and nobody seemed to be fulfilled in their career either. So I thought that's just how work was. I assumed working meant hating your job, your boss, and what you were being paid, and nobody expected to really feel fulfilled or invaluable in your career.
Read MoreAs a career coach and strategist, I'm an expert at helping professionals really understand what they're good at, how to leverage that to answer interview questions with ease, and how to position themselves as the top candidate. Here are some of my suggestions for avoiding a panic room situation and, instead, taking control of the room during your next interview.
Read MoreI don't know about y'all, but I'm big on standing on my own two feet as a professional woman. I'm so grateful for the love and support of my partner, the love and support of my supervisor, the love and support of my friends, and the industry. But at the end of the day, I want to stand ten toes down in my embodiment and make sure that I can stand on my own when it comes to my place in my career.
Read MoreMaybe like me, you're a very linear thinker. You think, ‘This goes first, this goes second, and this goes third.’ If that's who you are and how you show up in the world, I want to invite you to flip the script because flipping the script and thinking differently about your approach to your job search can yield real success.
Read MoreThere is so much blessing in walking away from things that don't serve you. I know it can be really hard, somewhat disorienting, and really scary. But there is so much blessing.
Read MoreHow do you know when you should be a team player? When should you pitch in at work? When should you help out versus when you're getting taken advantage of? When people are being witty? When you're getting played? When your employer is using you in a way that won't benefit you or your self-worth and self-value?
Read MoreRealizing you’re in a career rut is so painful because you’ve become STUCK. The wheels are turning but you’re not going anywhere and you've been there for a while. You find yourself stranded — overcome with panic, frustration, and desperation — with no solution around. Everything you've tried simply isn't working.
Read MoreHere's the truth: you're thinking about transferable skills all wrong. The truth is that you already have them; you don't need to work to develop them. What you need is to better articulate those transferable skills to stand out to employers.
Read MoreSo you did the hard work. You applied for the job, had the interview, and now you got the job offer. Yeah, you got the job, you got the job, you got the job! We're celebrating, but there is more to do. You still need to negotiate. Let me teach you how to negotiate like a pro.
Read MoreOne of the first things we work on in my mentorship programs is called an I AM statement.
This involves developing a statement that helps my mentees be clear and beautifully articulate exactly what they're good at, the exact value that they bring to the organization, and the specific problems that they've solved over the course of their careers.
Read MoreI was very excited to have Patricia join the Mentor Me Accelerator program. She had years of experience in education, her degrees and credentials, and an amazing attitude. What drew her to work with me was she had found herself at a place in her career where she was struggling to position herself as an expert and get her employer to recognize it. Because she brought the same passion and commitment to mentorship that made her successful at work, she was able to use her new strategies to earn a $27,000 salary increase and bonus.
Read MoreI am quick to tell the inspiring stories of the amazing women I work with in my programs. And I find any way I can to tell you that you should invest in yourself too; to believe in yourself.
Read MoreSometimes all it takes is hearing someone else ask a question to get your mind going. Today I am sharing the questions I get on repeat from other motivated women as they begin working with me and imagining the results that are possible. Consider this your primer to our first conversation!
Read MoreHere's the truth. 87% of the women who join Mentor Me programs find and secure a new role, making a minimum of a $25,000 salary increase within eight weeks. That's the truth of the hundreds of women that I've served in my programs.
Today, I want to talk about the women who aren't successful in my programs.
Read MoreThe motto is always work smarter, not harder.
So I'm going to teach you how to apply for fewer jobs, and get more callbacks and engagement from employers. Because the truth is — no one has time to apply for hundreds of jobs and hope someone calls back; hope someone sees your value and reaches out. We need to be more strategic about our job search and our approach to career development.
Read MoreThere are telltale signs I see when a woman is on the brink of a career shift. Maybe you've been wondering, ‘what's going on with me, why do I feel like this, or what's happening to me?’ I want to talk to you about a path forward for getting expert-level mentorship and career support.
